    Who wants to venture out to the summit cross must be absolutely free from giddiness! Fantastic view so for example down to Schwanheim. Every few meters a lizard ran around - but they do not bite ;-)

      The way was feasible for me even with my fear of heights. In the beginning a tight wire rope helps on the narrow way, because it does not go deep down yet OK.
      After this is done, the plateau widens. A small crevice (with wood too) is easily overcome with a big step or small jump. Then you stand
      even before the cross! Ok, not too close to the edge!

        Climbing dough ... with a wonderful view of the valley. Dizziness and sure-footed you should be.
